Top Risks

  • Brand impersonation: uses 'YouTube™' trademark without confirmed ownership; dev is gmail-only with no verified org.
  • Verified publisher with gmail dev email and no developer name raises accountability concerns.
  • Privacy policy admits third-party sharing without data retention disclosure; inadequate for enterprise.
  • function_constructor pattern in 3 JS files + dynamic script injection with no CSP; code execution surface.
  • host_permissions <all_urls> far exceeds content_scripts scope (*://*.youtube.com/*); scope mismatch.

Evidence

  • brand_impersonation store Title uses 'YouTube™' trademark; brand_mention.is_impersonation=true, developer not confirmed owner.
  • gmail_dev_no_name store developer_email=daniel17cook@gmail.com, developer_name empty; free webmail + no business identity.
  • host_scope_mismatch manifest host_permissions=<all_urls> but content_scripts limited to *://*.youtube.com/*; over-broad host grant.
  • function_constructor_multi crx new Function() constructor in options.js, skip-ad.js, background.js — dynamic code execution risk.
  • dynamic_script_injection crx script_src_dynamic in skip-ad.js; dynamic <script src> creation detected.
  • privacy_third_party_sharing api Policy fetched: scope_extension=true, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true, retention=false.
  • no_csp manifest content_security_policy=null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP hardening present.
  • verified_publisher_gmail store verified_publisher=true but email is gmail; verification discount capped due to impersonation signal.

Permissions Breakdown

  • storage low Stores extension settings locally; minimal risk.
  • scripting medium Allows programmatic script injection into pages; elevated risk with broad host access.
  • tabs medium Can read tab URLs and metadata; moderate privacy risk.
  • declarativeNetRequest medium Blocks/redirects network requests; appropriate for adblock but powerful.
  • <all_urls> high Host access to all URLs far exceeds YouTube-only content_scripts scope; broad surface.
